Xyicon is a 3D information modeling platform that simplifies IT infrastructure planning in complex hospital environments. It allows teams to visually map and manage every network-connected component, ranging from data ports to low-voltage devices directly on architectural floor plans. Healthcare organizations use Xyicon throughout new construction, renovation, and expansion projects to ensure technology needs are fully integrated from the start.

Traditional tools often require manual effort, lack version control, don’t support calculations, and fail to provide spatial context. They also typically don’t capture structured data or support robust reporting, both of which are critical for effective infrastructure planning.

Xyicon centralizes all device planning within a single, interactive platform. Each device is placed directly on a floor plan and linked to structured metadata. Teams can generate real-time reports, track dependencies (e.g. Department → Room → Device → Port → Switch), and make instant updates, eliminating rework, improving coordination, and enhancing visibility across the project.

Yes. During the schematic design phase, Xyicon helps IT teams estimate device counts, data drops, low-voltage cabling, and infrastructure needs on a room-by-room basis. Early visualization improves budget accuracy and helps prevent costly changes during construction.

Xyicon enables role-based access and customizable views, allowing IT, facilities, A/V teams, clinical users, and vendors to see only the information relevant to their roles. For non-technical stakeholders, viewing a floor plan with visually marked devices provides context that traditional network documentation lacks. For example, seeing how far a clinician must walk to retrieve a printout helps inform smarter, user-centric placement decisions. This spatial insight supports better collaboration and more effective decision-making across teams.

Xyicon can track any device connected to the network, and users can define custom device types as needed. Common examples include laptop ports, wireless access points, printers, surveillance cameras, and security systems.

If an architect updates a floor plan, such as in Revit, the revised layout can be uploaded into Xyicon without losing existing work. All devices, connections, and metadata remain intact and automatically realign, eliminating hours of manual rework.

Yes. Xyicon allows the entire project team to access specific portions of the Revit model directly in a web browser, with no Revit expertise required. This makes it easy for non-AEC users like project coordinators and equipment planners to view 2D/3D design data throughout the construction lifecycle. They can also propose updates, which AEC stakeholders can review and approve before implementation.

Xyicon provides a deployment view that allows teams to flag devices as installed, pending, or delayed. This real-time visibility gives IT project managers a high-level overview of deployment status, helping them quickly identify and address areas experiencing delays. It streamlines coordination, simplifies punch lists, and supports smoother go-live execution.

Yes. Xyicon links equipment to corresponding spaces, enabling detailed, bottom-up cost estimates. With built-in formulas, teams can model how design changes impact infrastructure costs, supporting more accurate capital and IT infrastructure planning.

Unlike standard annotation software that offer static markup capabilities, Xyicon is purpose-built for IT infrastructure planning in healthcare environments. While traditional tools can highlight or comment on 2D drawings, they lack the ability to manage structured data, track device relationships, or provide a real-time, interactive planning environment.

Xyicon combines visual planning with robust data management. It allows users to:

• View infrastructure in 2D and 3D for better spatial awareness

• Toggle between layers (e.g., IT equipment, Wi-Fi, low voltage)

• Capture custom metadata to map dependencies between devices, ports, switches, and rooms

• Use custom catalogs and templates, including port-level templates for structured planning and standardization

• Perform formula-based calculations to estimate quantities and project costs

• Export structured reports instantly to support procurement, installation tracking, and EHR integration workflows

• Collaborate in real time - move devices, leave comments, and update layouts in live planning sessions

Yes. While Xyicon is not an operational routing tool, it plays a vital role in supporting printer mapping during the implementation of EHR systems. Using Xyicon’s linking feature, you can visually plan which devices need to connect to specific printers based on clinical workflows.

For example, a single workstation may need to connect to:

• A label printer for patient wristbands

• A prescription printer for medication scripts

• A departmental printer for general documentation

These relationships can be documented within Xyicon as part of a centralized planning environment. You can then generate custom reports with fields such as Workstation ID, Printer ID, and LWS Code, which can be provided to your EHR build team to support accurate configuration during system rollout.

During M&A events, IT teams often lack clear visibility into the infrastructure they’re inheriting. Xyicon’s solutions team can perform a comprehensive asset survey, delivering a detailed inventory and specifications for all IT infrastructure components. This includes information such as device types, dependencies, cable types, and connection points.

With this insight, you gain a complete view of the inherited environment, allowing you to identify gaps and plan how to align the infrastructure with your organization’s standards. This accelerates the process of bringing newly acquired facilities into compliance quickly and efficiently.
